Founded by a former Aerospace Engineer and a Neuropsychologist with a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience; you are in good hands.

We’d love to sit down and evaluate together if we can help you or your business accelerate productivity. Let's meet and find out.

Challenge

WE'RE BEING ROBBED OF TIME

Constant interruptions

It can be almost impossible to concentrate at work at times. The average office worker changes tasks every 3 minutes, loses two hours each day recovering from distractions and can spend up to 24 minutes off track before returning to their original activity.

Inefficient meetings

Meetings are out of control. Over scheduled, under regulated and often poorly run. Each month the average office worker attends 62 meetings, spends 6 hours waiting for late meetings to start, and 12 hours day-dreaming in meetings instead of listening or contributing.

Conflicting priorities

With priorities which change on average 78% of the time, the average office worker spends over 4 hours each day reacting to immediate demands. Fire fighting and keeping up with BAU take a front seat as strategic initiatives get pushed into the background.

Email onslaught

Bombarded by hundreds of emails everyday, the average office worker checks their email 36 times per hour, spends 28% of their week in email and up to 16 minutes refocusing after an important new message. Email robs us of a lot of time and energy.

YOUR BRAIN IS THE KEY

Understanding how an engine works allows you to improve its performance. The same is true for the human brain. That’s why cognitive science is shaping the way leading organisations approach, design and manage their work. Learning about the brain has been transformation for our clients, and it can be for you too.

I never really thought about the limitations of the brain before, but learning about how my brain focuses, plans and prioritises has helped me become much more effective in my day-to-day, and a better leader.

Natasha Rodrigues
Director of IT & Excellence • Manpower

Discovering there are some scientific reasons why my team and I don't naturally “focus” well in our working environment, and that there ways to overcome this has been transformational.

Matt Vescovi
Product Manager • ATO

It was eye openning to understand why some techniques I’d tried previously hadn’t worked, and that my organisational and planning tools all have to take into account some limitations of the human brain that I previously wasn’t aware of.

Emmet harris
Manager • ATO

I found it empowering to recognise the limitations that we have as a human being and finding a way to maximise our time and energy by working around those limitations rather than unconsciously fighting against them.

Tony Vassallo
Commisioning Manager • Penske

Insightful and valuable. We invest a lot of time thinking about what we do at work; however Ethan got us thinking about how we approach our work. It was challenging, incisive and informative. I highly recommend it.

WHERE NEUROSCIENCE MEETS PRODUCTIVITY

Ethan Glessich

Managing Director

Ethan is a passionate entrepreneur, paragliding acrobatic pilot and former Aerospace Engineer. He believes we owe it to ourselves, our families and our society to make the most of whatever time we have been gifted on this planet. He is incredibly driven to make a positive impact in people’s lives, and believes neuroscience holds the key to building a better future for ourselves and future generations.

More about Ethan

When he is not running Kognitive or relaxing with his family, you’ll find Ethan soaring through the skies. This addiction has seen him fly off five of the world’s biggest mountain ranges (The Himalayas, The Andes, The Alps (EUR), The Southern Alps (NZ) and The Pyrenees), but also, experience some life’s major challenges —such as falling over a 1000 metres after a reserve malfunction, only to be saved by a gum tree, and breaking his back when pushing the boundaries of low-level paragliding acrobatics.

These experiences have instilled a deep need in Ethan spend our limited time in the things that matter most. Whether in the sky or on the ground, Ethan is passionate about living the present moment to its fullest and helping others make time count.

Dr. Patricia Martos

Head of Research & Development

Patricia is a brain expert and giving, gentle soul. From a young age Patricia was driven to learn about the human brain, and after obtaining her Bachelor and Master in Neuropsychology, she went on to work in a clinical setting and complete a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. Patricia’s knowledge of the human brain has been fundamental in building kognitive’s award winning offering.

More about Patricia

When Patricia is not conducting research or developing content at Kognitive, she spends her time with her family. Originally from Spain, she loves the outdoors and feels most at home lying on a beach in the Mediterranean.

Working with children and adults with HIV, brain damage and a whole variety of neurological disorders has given Patricia a solid grounding and an appreciation for the simple things in life.

She is excited about bringing the knowledge of the brain to the masses, and helping enrich the lives of as many people as possible around the globe.
